For those that continually use services like Uber Eats, Grubhub, DoorDash, etc., how does justify using the cost?

With fees and tip added, it’s almost double the cost, the food arrives cold and wait time is longer than you picking it up yourself.

    Double the cost?! Jesus, if it were that high here I wouldn’t. I basically order from two restaurants when I do, for one of them that uses one of these delivery apps it’s around 20% more since they list higher prices per dish than on their menu and have a 1.50€ delivery fee on top, but the restaurant I usually order at where you can order delivery directly has a flat 1.50€ delivery fee with same prices as the menu so that’s around 7% more than going in person (usually I order for around 20€).

    It doesn’t arrive cold since they put it in one of these isolation boxes. Especially in the winter I think that’s better than me getting it myself which is a 10 minute bike ride, without an isolation box. I’m gonna have to try that next summer though. Never hurts getting a bit of exercise and I actually never checked until now and assumed it would be more like 30 minutes lol
